John Dillinger, “Public Enemy Number 1,” and the Karpis gang hung out in local bars and rented a summer cabin on Bald Eagle Lake A member of the Karpis gang was shot and killed across the street from our house. Homer Van Meter tried to escape from the police by running down a dead end alley on the south side of University. I stood on the front porch and watched policemen jump out of squad cars and run up the alley. Van Meter was gunned down by St. Paul Police Chief Frank B. Cullen, former Chief Thomas A. Brown, and detectives Thomas McMahon and Jeff Dittrich. The Great Depression changed every- one’s life, but as a child, I was only dimly aware of its effects. The steady stream of shabby men who walked up and down University looking for jobs was, for me, the most visible sign of the depression.

For the first time, our house had a basement. Our basement was, to me, a frighten- ing place.A black pit yawned beneath the house, a crawl space Dad wriggled through with a hot iron to thaw frozen water pipes when the temperature fell below zero.

Those who watched him killed. Leo V. Brothers, described as a union in a courtroom universally described him as thug was accused of the crime and Piquette “flamboyant”. The son of a blacksmith, he was unsuccessfully defended him. In 1928 Piquette described as a "short, chubby, middle-aged man represented David C. Rockola, a slot machine of vitality and charm." He was well depicted in mechanic who had promised to witness for the 2009 movie “Public Enemies” by actor Peter Gerety the prosecution against James “High Pockets” O’Brien, a mobster who was paying off police to return impounded slot machines. At trial, Rockola took the fifth and refused to testify, ruining the prosecution. He later made millions manufacturing jukeboxes. Piquette is often alleged to have given Dillinger the wooden gun he used to escape from the Lake County Jail in Crown Point Indiana. That allegation is doubtful. Louis Piquette never attended law school, but did pass the Illinois Bar Exam on his fourth try. He actually was an attorney in the City of Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Criminals such as Al Capone, and Bonnie and Clyde were sought after by local, state, and national law enforcement for their crimes. Sure, all of these gangsters committed crimes, but no one received the notoriety of the American public like John Dillinger.
